Default Re: Model A Luggage Trunks?

At some point we all seem to run out of things to restore on our cars. All the gem crack bits of accessories are installed and there is nothing to do except maintain and drive the cars. How totally boring to not have a going project.

I have a beautiful aftermarket trunk for my '29 Fordor but is wasn't satisfying. I believe I wanted more of a statement from my rear end perhaps that is what I was thinking when I drank too much coffee and decided to make my own trunk to my own design. I like it and that is all that counts even if it isn't original Ford equipment. Quite often it gets more comments from the public than the car.

The extra trunk mounted brake lights and reflectors are for extra safety and the trunks un-plugs when it is removed.

Sometimes it is hard to know when to stop fiddling with our stuff.
